Hi Gráinne,

Thank you for your response.

You have very clearly highlighted how sustainability extends beyond recycling to included caring for the environment, supporting biodiversity and engaging with local communities. Linking actions that pupils can take at local level to global environmental difficulties would be a fantastic way to promote responsible and active citizenship.

Hi Deirdre,

Thank you for your response!

Congratulations on the win :)! From a Kerry woman, I must say it was a beautiful display of sport on Sunday. It truly felt like a piece of history unfurling before our very eyes!

I like how you are using place-based enquiry-led learning that connects Mayo’s unique seascape with global sustainability goals. Engagement with the pupils would definetly be bolstered by the hands-on fieldwork. These practical activities creates a strong sense of stewardship for their local community.

I think the idea of using the learning material in a debate setting for the pupils is a great way to practice critical thinking, apply what they’ve learnings in a practical way and allow them to take autonomy over their own learning.
